Sky Void of Stars

We are gathered here tonight His apostles in the moonlight He's coming in A foul saint coming marching in Engineer of the colossal shade This is us Losing grip of the daylight Letting go of the daylight He is the voice of our demise Spitting fire like a mountain This is us Let's drain the source And trade it for the greater high Just say the word I'll give up my final piece of freedom Collapse my mind I'm ready for the crowning blow Come what may I'm ready to enjoy the treason Satellite star My future watching me Transmitting scars My future watching me

See my scars They come from the other half The drowning god My words are bouncing off the ground I see them all around But your back was turned My heart had to learn These years What a theft 46 now How many left Recall the red sun burning Over the avenues and into our view Radiance that signified Magnified Divergent hue I see the last day turning Straight into emptiness How did it get so late Your little voice in the shadow now Sowing seeds to segregate Opaline Saw the trail of the fleeting twin Through last years grass With the curtain closing in a bit I will go where I see fit And love me not For I was never one to pass the test, no All for the best You're heading east If you go now I go west Gliding weightless through the vapour Off the map and into loss No more wisdom here to gather No more boundaries to cross I had a futile dream It rose from loving you But the debt has broken my back There's no need to retaliate As your train has left our track

Pale beats the heart of this bystander Shutting down, fog on lens A drab moon To match my lowering standards Suspended in deceptive light Blind and reckless towards my own condition Memorized the endless city Woe to you my suspicion Always there to say goodbye but come again Low I go Compromised But never enough it seems Low I go Go Go Spiralling down Have never enough to pay I don't have the means to stay Resilient To see Saturn ascending To trade my cold sharp nights O my beloved To find you this evening The prettiest eyes locked with mine I have waited Waited Waited Couldn't find another reason to live on But you shake my blood like a raging sea So I'm bound for the joy of sorrow If you go there with me Just one more thing I hope it doesn't go unnoticed that my body wants to sing Just one more thing I hope it doesn't go unnoticed that my body needs to sing With you

Feel the future Sift through your days In your palace of wretched steel See my absence as something good Grant your eyes a little rest Turn your face towards your fortune See my absence as something good Author of scars I see your hands upon my epitaph Then you shift into a looking glass A sky void of stars Touch the concrete Placed on my chest Chain the songbirds to your argent dome Confirm my fate as disposable Grant your eyes a little rest Turn your face towards your fortune Keep your promises negotiable It's shaking My trembling howl It's breaking Overtaking Creator of flaws I know you will be the last to laugh Then you shift into a looking glass A sky void of stars

I step outside to be defeated I'm suspended by a parting thread A fool awash with wine Migrated far to be convicted You sucked me in and you bled me dry It's a song we need to cry Even if we try We can't live forever I gave you my shards of sky But we can barely see the reflection We'll just live to see the essence die I'm calculating our criterion And listen hard for the note of serenity But I didn't mind the heat I remember well the contradictions How you turned your face towards the city lights And the shadow fell behind

Meet up at dusk Out on the tracks Quietly stare with poisoned eyes There's nothing quite like time to tell how it is We all tremble 'neath the unforgiver Terrified But with no reason to show it yet If we come to higher ground in the future I will assure you that nothing was your fault So take my chance to lose another battle But feel nothing at all Meet up at dusk Out on the tracks Quietly stare with poisoned eyes And it's my turn It's taking off again It's time to find out what's on the back of my skin Check your instinct baby I could have been yours We are standing safe outside of knowledge Where nothing ever can or will be taught So take your right and throw it on the fire Will change nothing at all You think it's summer But it's not It's deceiving your eyes and paralyzing mine You change the course You're overlooking your defence Our tattered flag It's reaching for your hands But you shut your mind to it You fixed spikes around my heart

That star used to shine But it fell below the line Dropped under my eyes Thrown to the old shade And shall never live again In the parlour of dusk, inception of suspense Channeling words to trouble the quiet Surrender into the dark spread of a wing It's visible now how our past freedom turns to dust Approaching our departure No solace in our call Scattered across the skyline No beacon to illuminate our fall No dreaming back to everlasting light I arm my dead mind With the final reason Will sell it to the lowest bidder My final reason Aim below the axis Lose even more Every day It won't matter if you get back beneath my hand No black magic ever enough to command Sedated Turning myself in Complicated The more you hurt The more I love you Vacated The sickness tears my skin Terminated The more you hurt The more I love you Spent Can't undo Nausea divine Drifting off from life And won't Make it back
